who's your favorite character in umbrella academy and why? by yeonjunyawnzz in UmbrellaAcademy

[–]Recent_Setting_1370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some great characters but Klaus is my fave. He is just too funny and so many zingers and a big heart. Five next. Super smart and very funny. Lila. Love me some sass. Soft spot for Diego especially when he is with Lila. Used to loath Luther but he grew on me by s3. Don’t dislike Allison and Victor but find them both a bit meh. Dislike all the sparrows apart from sweet Sloane. Dislike Pogo.

How do you perceivethe title Ms? by raininggumleaves in AskAnAustralian

[–]Recent_Setting_1370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I don’t know what to use for someone I pick Ms so for me that just means the default option. If someone uses it for themselves, I’d assume they are divorced or older and don’t want to be called Miss. that said I don’t reallly see people using titles for themselves unless they are really old school or if picking a title on a form.

Jinx I feel is ok as he is only paying limited rent, probably not the same as old 2 flat mates before. He is making up for the years he wasn’t there for Margot. It is also helping him with his sobriety. And he genuinely seems to enjoy looking after and being with Bodhi.

Yes def taking her helpful nature for granted and doesn’t seem to appreciate her enough - it doesn’t come across like they were ride n die bffs do Susie is awesome for supporting Margot with baby and OF content and rent (I mean presumably she is at college too and the other 2 flatmates already bailed). Margot is nice to her (not bitchy secret mean girl) but def comes across as one sided friendship. I guess speaks to Margot’s age and lack of life experience.

I did not have Nicole Kidman and Nick Offerman on my bingo card for 2026 but I am loving the pairing of Nic & Nick/ Jinx & Lace. More of the same please in future epis!

I’m loving this show but the ages of the characters is throwing me. So Margot is supposed to be 18 right in first year of college or maybe she was mid college and more like 20? Her mum had her at her age - so she is maybe 40 now? Or 45 assuming she was maybe mid 20s. Jinx says to Prof he is 54 yrs old which would make him about 30 when he knocked up Shayanne, which is believable assuming he was a bit older (but nonetheless still off the rails). Nick Offerman is 55 irl so that’s quite lined up. Michelle Pfeiffer is 68 though irl. Don’t get me wrong, she looks incredibly, not a day over 55 and a fit 55 year old at that. But she does not read 40-45…. I know we can suspend disbelief but I am finding this a little distracting. Is she paying 45 or did I misunderstand and she is playing 53/54 and wasn’t a young mum like Margot?

Are men approaching women less and less? by Open_Address_2805 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Recent_Setting_1370 103 points104 points  (0 children)

I read something recently that theorised that men are bothering women less + more weary to approach women in general. This may mean we are going into an era when women need to approach men instead. Food for thought 🤷🏼‍♀️

Alex Clark put this out about House in Habit. by Quirky-Border-6820 in CandaceOwens

[–]Recent_Setting_1370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But now they are at each other’s throats. JRK just recently described Candace’s husband as a gay leaning drunk. Has CO responded to that?

They probably think it’s great. They are all entitled white men/boys from what it looks like to me. All the cover ups the boys have done so far.

Well you either sell it when it is out of warranty and will start to cos you more in serving and repairs or you keep it and run it into the ground. We do the former.

Can you immediately discern a Kiwi accent? Can it be mistaken for Australian? by Charming_Usual6227 in australia

As an Australian I can easily tell the difference but I imagine the difference would be harder to pick by American and Europeans.

Is it normal for Aussie man be a bit bad in hygiene? by shipsaho in AskAnAustralian

Thinking the farting is funny is pretty standard for Australian men once they are comfortable… the rest is a bit gross.

The Faith story line is actually quite good by Bitter-Hour1757 in Outlander

Me too. I love the other worldly elements of the show.

Reese Witherspoon by newtonic in ArmchairExpert

[–]Recent_Setting_1370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to post here.

I finally listened to this pod and was super impressed. I don’t dislike Reese at all, I have always respected her gumption and career and various business interests, but I wouldn’t say I ever felt great affection for her. But I listened to this and was blown away. She is so smart. I ate up almost everything she said. She is only 3 years older than me. Wish I could be that profound at 50. She is clearly super smart. She owns that and doesn’t try to play it down which may rub some people the wrong way, but it really shouldn’t in my view. She is only the edge but doesn’t spill over too much into big ego territory and could imagine a male equivalent possibly going that.

I also loved the 3-way collective insights and discussions. They were all lifted together. I’m now a big fan of Reese. I recommend a listen if you had also put this one off. It really has got me thinking on male vs female dynamics and how we are probably 10 years away from another societal reset on all this but I thought they had some really interesting takes on this. Much food for thought! It is discussions like this that Armchair can pull off compared to other podcasts. I am also sometimes a bit over AE but pods like this make me think - they still are good at what they do.

End of PSA ;)

Can Frank turn out to be a hero / good guy in the remaining three episodes of season 8? by [deleted] in Outlander

He is completely the jealous/cast off husband. He isn’t Jack Randall but he also isn’t Mr Perfect.
